Xi Jinping says "strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness and reciprocity" in US ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping described his country's ties with the United States as constructive and steady, speaking as a three-day summit with President Donald Trump in Washington ended with a tour of the National Archives. According to US Ambassador to China David Perdue, Trump told Xi that any Chinese assistance to Iran, direct or indirect, was unacceptable; Beijing has denied allegations of aiding Tehran's leaders in the conflict. No firm agreements emerged, though US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said details of limited trade arrangements, including exemptions for farm goods, medical devices and some consumer items, would be released Monday. Xi invited Trump to visit China and noted the two would meet again at APEC and a G20 summit this year.
